Passage F The right to say what we want, where we want, is the cornerstone of a free society, and, as such, is near and dear to Americans. Justice William O. Douglas stated, “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.” Despite our courts’ vigilant protection of this right, however, it is not an absolute right. The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote that freedom of speech does not give the person a right to yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater or to knowingly and maliciously say or write lies that damage the reputation of another. In schools, freedom of expression must be balanced with the school’s responsibility to maintain a safe and orderly environment and to protect people’s feelings and reputations.

Passage A In 2000, John Welch of General Electric paid himself $144 million, while also receiving millions of dollars’ worth of perks, such as a company-paid home and a private box in the stadium where the Boston Red Sox play. When Welch left General Electric in 2001, the firm granted him a pension of $9 million annually, plus lifetime use of a corporate jet, an extravagant Manhattan apartment, and such absurd extras as permission to send his liquor bills to the company. Hundreds of average General Electric employees were laid off—some of their lives ruined—to fund Welch’s carnival of greed. And greed it was in every sense, since Welch avidly grabbed from others but gave almost nothing away. Papers filed by Welch himself in a divorce proceeding declared that he had a net worth of $456 million but donated a mere $3 million annually to charity. This is a miser’s sum, since $456 million conservatively invested would yield around $20 million annually, allowing Welch to give away much more while still living in opulence and not touching his principal.

I played football through grade school, co-captained my high-school team, and went on to become an inside linebacker and defensive captain at the NCAA Division I level. I learned to be an animal. Coaches took notice of animals. Animals made first team. Being an animal meant being fanatically aggressive and ruthlessly competitive. If I saw an arm in front of me, I trampled it. Whenever blood was spilled, I nodded approval. Broken bones (not mine, of course) were secretly seen as little victories within the bigger struggle. The coaches taught me to “punish the other man,” but little did I suspect that I was devastating my own body at the same time. There were broken noses, ribs, fingers, toes, and teeth; torn muscles and ligaments; bruises; bad knees; busted lips; and the gradual pulverizing of my spinal column. By the time my jock career was long over at age 30, these injuries had resulted in seven years of near-constant pain. It was a long road to the surgeon’s office.
